Our Purpose
Our mission has never been more important — and we need your help.
More than three decades ago, the idea of protecting enough farmland to make a real difference was just a dream.
Since then — with the generous support of our community — we’ve turned that dream into a reality, and we have the opportunity to do so much more. By preserving farmland, we are investing in our community, shaping the future in a very real and positive way, and leaving a legacy no one can take away.
